Evangelist Sam Jones is rapidly acquir-
ing reputation in Tennessee. In one of
his speeches, so the Nashville Bonner says,
he alluded to certain people in his audience
as ''fannel-mouthed lrishmen and galvan-
ized Dutchmen." When somebody inter
rupted him, he shouted: Somebody
knock that fellows teeth out of his mouth
and I'll pay the fine" Commenting, the
Banner says: Would such utterances be
considered eminently proper from the lips
of q. resident minister? If not, are they
proper from the lips of any other ministerl"

Immense Sums for Fertilizers

The Gainesville (Ga.) Register estimates
that 1900 tons of fertilizers have been pur
chased every year in Franklin county, in
this State, for the past fifteen years, and
that the average price paid was $40 per ton.
If only 900 tons year were purchased the
outlay was $4,000 per annum; or 5000, Geo
in the fifteen years. If interest at the rate
of per cent. is added it will be seen that
the farmers of Franklin county have paid out
$3.50, 900 in the time mentioned for fertilizers.
No doubt the investment was good one,
and that the increased yield of the land fully
justified it, but the question which presents
itself is this: Could not the farmers have
saved at least half of the $3.50, 600 by paying
more attention to the making of fertilizers
at home, and have obtained Just as good, if
not better, results from their lands? Now
adays farmers spend all they make for
fertilizers, and even go in debt for them.
The prosperous farmers of the Middle States
do not spend a great deal of money
for fertilizers, and yet their farms are
very productive. They are very care
full, however, to collect and save all
the material on their farms that can be
made to answer the purpose of fertilizer.
They produce hay and grain and raise
stock and poultry, and the result is
that their hog pens, poultry yards,
and barn yards, yield almost enough
fertilizing matter to keep their farms
in first-class condition The manure
they secure in this way, together
with a little lime, produces amazing
results. If Georgia farmers are wise they
will look little closer after the homemade
manures. They will even so into the forests
and collect the pine straw which, when
rotten, makes an excellent fertilizer.
